Funny and clever Axpona Ad

Ct0517, I enjoyed your wittily written post. And thanks for not shooting the messenger who caused you to lose the bet :-)

To complete the descriptions of who's who in the video, as Geoff indicated the fellow playing the husband is a professional actor. I was particularly impressed with how well done the subtle movements of his eyes and mouth were during the early parts of the ad. The other fellow is the founder and CEO of the Connecticut-based firm which produces and manages Axpona, as well as other trade shows and conferences. The woman in the background is his "content and marketing director."

Hey Michael (Swampwalker), did you notice the indication at the end of the ad of where it was filmed? I haven't ever been there, but in prior decades I've spent much time at its local competitor, Take5 Audio. For that matter, just about everyone involved in the ad, including the people who produced and directed it as well as all of the cast other than the actors playing the husband and wife, are from not far away in our home state. Hmmm, if I weren't happily married (to a good dancer, as it happens), I just might be thinking of taking dancing lessons right about now :-)

Best regards,

Al- I must plead guilty to not reading the fine print (or even noticing that there was any print!). Looking at their web site, it appears that they were in Orange for many years and now are right around the corner from Take 5. Since I discovered A'gon, I've pretty much given up going to retail stores...t'aint fair to take up their time when I'm too cheap to pay retail. Plus most of 'em don't stock anything I'd be interested in these days.

I came across many nice pictures of the show.

Made me feel like I was there. Especially the shots in rooms with curtains open showing tree limbs budding (I could almost hear the birds chirping). These rooms must have been static displays - no sound ?
thanks to the Audioshark website for the pics.

The guy in this ad is miscast. He should be a very balding guy over fifty and twenty-five pounds overweight with glasses and wearing garishly colored sneakers.
